ROADBLOCK still finds time to cook gourmet meals, but usually he’s gripping a .50 cal Browning heavy machine gun instead of a spatula. He attended the prestigious Escoffier School in France before joining the Army and the G.I. JOE team. A courageous soldier, he’ll willing sacrifice himself to save his buddies and the mission, like when he, FLINT, MUTT and JUNKYARD were trapped in a crevice with deadly strangler vines: he stayed behind so that the others could escape. Whether he’s whipping up gratin de coquille St. Jacques or blasting COBRA TROOPERS with his “Ma Deuce,” ROADBLOCK makes his point loud and clear: he’s the best at anything he puts his hand to — period.

“Two things I won’t tolerate: someone who doesn’t ask for seconds, and a COBRA who won’t lay down his weapon when he sees me coming.”
